Nicomachean Ethics

This work presents the Nicomachean Ethics in a fresh English translation by Christopher Rowe that strives to be meticulously accurate yet also accessible. The translation is accompanied by Sarah Broadie’s detailed line-by-line commentary, which brings out the subtlety of Aristotle’s thought as it develops from moment to moment. In addition, a substantial introductory section features a thorough examination of the text’s main themes and interpretative problems and also provides preambles to each of the ten books of the Nicomachean Ethics . An indispensable resource for students approaching the Nicomachean Ethics for the first time, this detailed treatment is ideal for courses in classical or ancient philosophy, the philosophy of Aristotle, and ethics.
